The 2011 Big East Tournament opens with the No.16 seed DePaul Blue Demons taking on the No.9 seed Connecticut Huskies this Tuesday afternoon at Madison Square Garden. Tip-off is set for 12 p.m. and the game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN2.<\/p>\n

DePaul comes into this tournament having lost its last five games including a 107-59 loss to No.12 Syracuse as a 19 \u00bd-point road favorite in its season finale. The Blue Demons bring up the rear of the conference with an overall record of 7-23 straight-up, but they are 14-14 against the spread. It has been an extremely long season in Big East play with just one win in 18 games.<\/p>\n

DePaul lost it leading scorer Cleveland Melvin for the season with a broken thumb, so it will be up to Brandon Young, who is second on the team with 12.4 points, and Tony Freeland, who is averaging around 10 points a game, to try and keep this game somewhat close. The Blue Demons are averaging 68 points and 31 rebounds a game. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Connecticut dropped all the way to ninth in the Big East with four losses in its last five games. The Huskies closed out the regular season with a tough 70-67 loss to No.7 Notre Dame as a three-point home favorite. They finished the year 21-9 SU overall (13-11 ATS) and 9-9 SU in conference play.<\/p>\n

Kemba Walker has also cooled off a bit down the stretch but he is still the sixth-leading scorer in the nation with 23.1 points a game. He also leads the team in assists with 4.3 and is third in rebounds with 5.2. The Huskies are averaging 72 points a game and are ranked 10th in the nation with 40 rebounds a game.<\/p>\n

UConn won a regular season game against DePaul this season by a score of 82-62 as a 9 \u00bd-point road favorite. You can expect at least the same margin of victory this time around as the Huskies roll to a lopsided first round win.<\/p>\n
